TROY, N.Y.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 26, 2007—
MapInfo Corporation (NASDAQ:
MAPS) today released demographic
insights into potential consumer behavior to find the nation's biggest
spenders. MapInfo used its PSYTE(R) U.S. Advantage neighborhood
segmentation system, which profiles lifestyle and consumer habits in
72 "cluster" groups, to gain insight into who the big shoppers are and
where they live. Based on MapInfo's research, here are descriptions of
Americans in several key counties:

-- Hey Big Spender!: MapInfo found that folks in Marin County,
California were most likely to open their wallets wide,
leading the nation with the highest average household
expenditure. Big shoppers in the Bay Area are well represented
with San Mateo ranking fourth and Santa Clara ranking ninth.
New Jersey, home to more malls per square mile than any other
state, also topped the list with Morris and Somerset Counties
ranking fifth and sixth. Below is the full list of the top 10
spending counties.

-- Who are the Shopaholics?: Providing a sneak peek into who
these big spenders are, MapInfo profiled the top counties
through its PSYTE segmentation system and found the following
three clusters dominating the list:

-- Executive Domain--These top business executives are running to
the stores just as fast as they're climbing the corporate ladder.
Consisting generally of business, financial and healthcare
professionals, these households are mostly dual-earning couples
between the ages of thirty-five and fifty-nine, comprising
approximately 25 percent of households in Fairfax, Virginia, as well
as Morris and Somerset, New Jersey.

-- Only in America--Nearly 60 percent of households in Nassau, New
York and 34 percent of households in Westchester, New York fall under
this multi-ethnic mix that is 75 percent white, 10 percent Hispanic
and 6 percent African American. These college-educated homeowners have
a mean family income of $75,000 and are predominantly found on the
East Coast.

-- Professional Duos--Found in all major metro areas, these
high-earning couples comprise about 18 percent of households in Marin
County, California and are mostly doctors, lawyers and educators. 25
percent of these households are ethnically diverse, and 80 percent own
their own homes.

"Using MapInfo's geodemographic services to identify where in the
country consumers are spending the most and who these shoppers are, we
are able to take an in-depth look at American lifestyle and behavioral
characteristics," Sebastien Rancourt, PSYTE Advantage product manager
for MapInfo. "Businesses across all industries, including retail,
restaurants and financial services, use MapInfo data and research
capabilities to gain valuable insight into consumer behavior,
lifestyle and location in order to make more accurate and intelligent
decisions."
